Defensive record better – one goal conceded in five in PL: “When you defend better you attack better so it’s important for us to concede as few goals as possible. The average is quite similar for the whole season. In the past they arrived two or three times and scored. What’s important is they don’t create too many chances.”

Boro: “THey are so stable, it is so difficult to create chances against them. We have to focus on the next game to play as well as possible. Final or semi final at Wembley is so beattiful so I would like to be there.

Boro: “Very well organised defensive team. Valdes was amazing last time. we played and i’m really happy he’s having a good season.2. I know it will be a difficult team. We didn’t close the match out here. They conceded very few goals. I’m sure it will be a tough match.
